Weeks Bay Nature Reserve and Interpretive Center

Looking for local outdoor activities to do with the kids? Take a break from the beach, pack a picnic, and head over to Weeks Bay. Tour the center for experiencing a hands-on touch tank, viewing a baby alligator, and more. Walk the nature trails or even bring your boat, kayaks or stand-up-paddleboards to tour the Fish River. You may encounter dolphins, pelicans, and other wildlife.

Discover what estuaries are, how humans impact them, and how your children/students can become stewards of these ecosystems.
